To the tunes of ABBA, we have traveled over 1700 km across the UK, visiting seven showgrounds in just four days.

It has been a real eye-opener, and we have met organizers and gathered valuable feedback to better understand what needs to be done next to make Equipe an even better fit for the UK market.

New discipline: Combined Training

It’s not often we add a new discipline to Equipe, but today we did, combining the best parts of Equipe. Combined Training has been implemented according to the rules of British Dressage.

There is full paperless support for the dressage phase and complete show jumping support, including timekeeping.

See estimated start times in start lists in app

FDS keep connection when switching competition

Our web-based timekeeping drivers now open in a popup, so the connection to the FDS/timekeeping device is persisted across page navigations.

Dressage / Paperless updates

• Possible to swap the column order of remarks and marks
• Auto-complete for remarks can now be disabled.

• Added translation for the “signature required” message.

• A dialog now warns users about missing marks.
• Missing marks are now highlighted with a solid red border.
• Automatically scrolls to missing marks.
• The input field for a missing score is both scrolled to and focused.

• Added date and arena name (if multiple) to the marking sheet cover sheet.

Added support for meeting fees to target start

Upon request we have made it possible to target a meeting fee on a start, this is supported both in app.equipe.com and entry.equipe.com

Other updates and improvements

• Removed keybinding on FEI import for competitions and entries as they conflicted with other keybindings.
• Refresh now also updates UELN.
• On multi-week shows, the FEI Checkout integration now determines the show to check out from by only considering competitions and lists that are not in the future.

• Ensure that export all invoices jobs can only run one at a time.
• Prevent invoice number from being generated for invoice without any entries.
• Prevent attempts to send invoice emails with invalid recipients.

• Fixed drag-and-drop functionality for competitions.
• Pauses no longer count as entries in the number of starts tooltip.
• Fixed an issue that prevented full-page reload when entering show jumping without sections.

• Possible to update custom fields via api horses#updates and people#horses without overriding existing custom fields.
• Foreign tax percent is no longer imported from shared people data.

• Added federation representative and supervisor to official types.

• Title, subheader1, subheader2, and starts_on now available in graphics.
• Fixed fence context menu rendering issue for eventing where it could appear outside the screen.
• Fixed reordering issue where scoreboards with numeric IDs could not be reordered after switching to string primary keys.

• Order added extensions by name.

• Riders can only withdrawn online until the day before a class starts
• If Allow Changes is on, changes are online allowed until the day before a class starts
• Unsubmitted can always be changed or deleted(also after the competition is over to allow riders to still pay their entries if needed)

Move entry (Only as organizer)
You can now move an entry to a different class that meets the requirements for this entry. Pony class entry, can only be move to other pony classes. Or if Start categories is used, you can only move an entry to classes that have this category as well.

Show Arena
If the arena is set in app, this is now exported to entry. This is used to group competitions together, and so give riders a better view what is in which arena. But this also has the side effect that you as organizer can see how many starts are in each arena, before importing in to App.

Verify existing rider/horse
In the previous update we rolled out the option to require rider/horse to be imported from the federation. To continue this we have given users to option to verify existing rider/horse with their federation. The data returned by the federation is leading, but data that the federation doesn't have is preserved. This allows rider to quickly update their profile. And if rider/horse is verified, their is now an option to refresh data from the federation to Entry.

Confirmation on Withdrawing of a entry
It was very easy to withdrawn an entry, a bit to easy. So their is now a proper popup when you want to withdrawn an entry. To make sure this is not a mistake.

Move entry from reserve to starting (Only as organizer)
It's now possible from a rider entry page to move entries from the reserve list, to make it easier to get one rider off the reserve list. Instead of searching him in every competition.

Smaller changes:

• If its disabled to start same horse twice in a class, it will now be possible again for riders to share a horse in the same class. As this is a new combination
• Sign up page is now translated
• If entry is still on the reserve list, but others got accepted, we no longer render reserve & accepted label at once. It will now show only the reserve label. (In case of stables, when at least one stable is not on the reserve list the label accepted will be shown, in combination how many are still on the reserve list.)

We’ve also added a column displaying the total number of competitions for each horse (2).

The Federation API has been extended to allow searching for horses by person. Since our own entry.equipe.com is built on the same integration, this update makes it possible to search for and import horses by the rider (or payer) from entry.equipe.com. This is especially convenient for late entries made on-site, as it allows you to directly fetch the horse associated with the rider.

The competition settings dropdown under File > Publish Online was not rendering correctly when positioned at the bottom of the screen. This has now been permanently fixed by centering the popover. This also makes it more convenient, as you can make multiple changes before dismissing the popover by closing it or clicking elsewhere.

Jumping back and forth between reports is now more seamless, as the system remembers your last position (saved when you print). This should help prevent accidentally printing the wrong report.

Transfer (copy, move, switch) now starts with competitions collapsed by default, except for one-day shows. This provides a better overview and makes it easier to find the correct competition for transfers.

The inline edit for competition start time now enforces a specific format to ensure consistency and accuracy.

• A new horse now defaults to “horse” in a competition that primarily consists of horses.
• Improved email validation, for example, when sending invoices.
